International Academic Community at the University of Oxford.
We provide initiatives, events, and opportunities for Clarendon Scholars, an international community of over 300 current graduate students at the University of Oxford studying a diverse range of subjects.
Ready for a chase across Oxford? Join us for The Great Clarendon Chicken Hunt; part scavenger hunt, part pub crawl, and part race against the Chicken!
🕖 Date & Time: 15th October 2026 (Thu), 6:30 PM (Start)
📍 Start Location: TBA
🎟️ Tickets: £7, Available here soon!
We’ll meet at around 6:30–7:00 PM (location TBA), where everyone will have a chance to meet their teammates and hear the rules. At around 7:00–7:30 PM, the Chicken (Fran, in full chicken costume 🐔) will escape and make their way to a secret pub somewhere in Oxford.
Participants, split into teams of approximately 3–5 people, are set off across Oxford to find the Chicken! But there’s a catch: the clock is ticking!
The Chicken will take part of the money raised through ticket sales to the secret pub and gradually spend it on drinks. The longer it takes everyone to find the Chicken, the less money will be left!
Teams will need to combine the clues, their knowledge of Oxford, and a little bit of luck to follow the trail and catch the Chicken before the pot disappears.
Once a team finds the Chicken, they can join them at the pub, and the remaining pot can be used towards drinks for the participants who make it there.
Join Clarendon in visiting the Rhodes House to attend the Rhodes Forum on Technology and Society!
